    I just upgraded to WP 3.9 and upgraded Akismet plugin.

    Now, when I go to SmallBiz Options- Homepage Text and images- the homepage is all blank. My text doesn’t show. So, i can’t edit the home page text.

    I can see the text for my ‘other’ pages fine and make edits. Just the homepage is blank.

    Thoughts/suggestions?

    Thanks!

    Have you tried:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

    resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    – re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder and wp-config.php & root .htaccess files – from a fresh download of WordPress. Make sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new ones.

    I’m sorry but if this is a theme issue, you will need to seek support from the theme’s developer/vendor. We do not support commercial products here.

    one more quick question.

    My theme is “SmallBiz Options”- i didn’t pay for it.Its a default from WP. Its built into the left nav bar

    Doesn’t WP own this theme and therefore should support it?

    I cannot find that theme in https://wordpress.org/themes/

    Sorry – still can’t find it.

    If I look at the left menu Appearance/Theme
    The first (of 5) theme is selected:

    “Small Biz Full Width
    by Expand2web
    Active:SmallBiz Dynamic Lite”

    That theme was not downloaded from wordpress.org.

    I downloaded it from a link within WP. About a year ago.

    The two companies must be ‘partners’ or something. WP let Expand2web advertize within the WP Admin consul.

    What is WP’s current relationship with Expand2web?

    esmi

    (@esmi)

    There is no relationship. wordpress.org is completely independent and does not have relationships with commercial theme developers.

    Can you find that theme in https://wordpress.org/themes/ ?

    ok, i’ll contact Expand2web. Likely, its a theme issue but i didn’t try all your suggestions, yet.

    Thanks for your time.

    (but don’t consider this issue closed, yet)

    I am having the same problem. I can’t update my home page because the homepage text box did not populate with the last automatic update (3.9). Not sure what I can do, but I need to do something.

    Esmi is correct. This isn’t a WP issue. It is a Expand2web issue:

    Unfortunately, our limited time Lite version partnership with Bluehost and SimpleScripts has ended.

    The Lite version is no longer available. Here are a few options to consider:

    Option 1) Revert back to an older version of WordPress to continue the free theme.

    Option 2) Switch to a different free theme included with WordPress or your hosting provider

    Option 3) We are glad to offer a 20% discount to upgrade to the full version of SmallBiz here:http://www.smallbiztheme.com/. Use the following Coupon code upon checkout: SMALLBIZ20D
